One significant challenge facing the coalescing agent industry is its heavy dependency on the construction and automotive sectors. The demand for coalescing agents is closely linked to the performance coatings used in these industries for various applications, such as architectural coatings, automotive paints, and industrial coatings. Economic downturns, fluctuations in consumer spending, or disruptions in the construction and automotive sectors can have a profound impact on the market. During periods of reduced construction activity or a slowdown in the automotive industry, the demand for coatings diminishes, directly affecting the need for coalescing agents.
